If you desire to give blood or platelets, this is a nice place. Very friendly and professional…read more Highly recommend.

I am generally a sucker for signing up to donate blood. This means I've spent my fair share of time…read morein a gym or community center with the Red Cross. When I lived in Brentwood Forest the Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center did a drive at the clubhouse there. It was one of the best experiences I had giving blood. Since then I've regularly given at the Crestwood location. It is easy to schedule an appointment, the staff are friendly, and there are the best snacks! I love it. You also get little mini rewards (pins, grocery bags, shirts) as you hit different benchmarks in giving blood. If you give blood in St. Louis I highly recommend doing it here.

So me and my bf went, I couldn't donate unfortunately but he did. He didn't make all the way…read morethrough the donation but two hours after he took his bandages and started bleeding which shouldn't be happening. Margaret was the one who did it honestly she needs more training bc that ridiculous she didn't know what she was doing. Honestly so disappointing with lack of caring about people to do it wrong

I went in filled out the paperwork, waited an hour, and was told that I was too old!!…read moreI am 73 and walk 5 miles a day, play tennis and am very active. My blood type is 0+ which is the umival donor, and my blood has always clotted very quickly. Yet, without any tests or analysis I'm too old??? Blood is blood, and plasma is plasma, especially since mine is so effective. A real shame, as I wanted to make a difference in someone's life. I won't go to donate again. That was at the St. Peter's location.

***News Flash*** Starting December 7th, (really? Of all…read moredays) Corporate CSL has decided to take MORE of your plasma AND pay you LESS! They used to have a 3-tiered structure to pay you for your plasma based on your weight. Now, they have gone to a 5-tiered pay structure based on your weight AND Now Height. I have made over 500 donations with them and now they are doing this? Folks, it's all in the name of corporate greed AND (to use that disgusting business world phrase) "to enhance shareholder value." So their new motto, paying you less AND taking more from you. For the center I use in St. Louis, I give a rating of 4 out of 5 which I have done before and still do. My beef is with the corporate level decisions they make and this latest one is the reason for the 1 rating. Donating now will be less of a priority than it was before today. I will also check out the competition. I'm sure most other long- time and loyal donors will be doing the same thing. Give more, Get less! sick, Sick, SICK!!!

Waited for 2 hours as a new donor and no one ever interacted with me. I heard staff in the back…read morelaughing and carrying on but no one told me what the wait was whock i find to be incredibly rude. I finally had to leave.

Good luck becoming a new donor here very picky people. I've come in at least 10 different times…read morewith everything they tell me to bring and it is all up to date and currently dated within the last 30days each time and it's always something with them. Every time they come up with a different excuse to tell me they can't do it today and to come back tomorrow but it's a complete waste of time. So save yourself a headache and turndown and don't waste your time here I recommend CSL plasma they pay better and have a much nicer better trained staff that are willing to help with anything.

Jonathan, the employee who did my iv quite literally shoved the needle in my arm and then laughed…read moreand said does that hurt? And proceeded to twist it and push it deeper after I said yes. I'm a regular at this location and I've donated plasma plenty of times but have never been in serious pain. Some normal discomfort as the needle goes in, sure. But not like this. I think it hit some sort of nerve or something because it kept feeling like the needle was vibrating and it gave me a nails on the chalkboard kind of feeling. My arm was already bruised before they even wrapped it up and my whole arm is sore and hurting. Awful experience!

The staff NEVER changes their gloves, NEVER. Any time I have been here I watch them go from person…read moreto person, sticking and disconnecting . Not ONCE have they changed gloves. They need to implement some new standards in order to prevent spreading anything from person to person .

I sat there for 2-3 hours with waiting nobody even said nothing to me about smelling like weed when I was my name was getting put in the system. You won't catch me there ever again. LET ME REMIND YOU FIRST THING THE NURSE ASKED ME WAS, "Do you smoke pot?" Even my friend got pass me and he smokes.

I transferred my 94 year old Mother out of Bethesda Dilsworth to BJC Extended Care. I'm so…read moresatisfied with the amazing care the nursing staff, therapist, compared to Dilsworth I give them a A. From the front desk greeting you with a smile to the care team showing compassion. I recommend. Mom radiates where before she experienced negligence from an uncaring nursing staff resulting in a sore. She gets showered now, she says the foods good, she is treated nicely, her call buttons in reach and not one time her hearing aides or glasses lost. She's showered where Dilsworth didn't shower her in 2 weeks writing excuses denied by Mother. BJC Extended Care I trust with my Mother. We can sleep knowing she's care for and treated with respect.

We were told this was a good place for rehab after my wife's hospitalization. Upon arrival we noted…read morea hot sweltering third floor. First and second floors are normal temperature however third floor is overly warm. Evening prescription drugs had not been received yet from their pharmacy on the first day of arrival. The following day, they still didn't have the drugs from the pharmacy that my wife takes. They did however give her the vitamins and a portion of the drugs that they had available in their carts. The MetroLink trains come by less than a block away and are very loud. Promised equipment has not arrived by the end of the second day. Physical therapy is provided once per day (instead of the twice per day we have had in other facilities). This therapy is four days per week with a group therapy once per week to make it sound like you got five days of therapy. Considering this stay is entirely for rehabilitation, the therapy schedule is quite a disappointment. Fifty percent of the staff seem annoyed to assist the patient, the others are nice. Visiting hours are over at 8:30pm and the doors are alarmed to exit. This makes it difficult to spend evening hours with your spouse. I believe the good reviews on google and other sites are added by staff and are not valid. This is not a location we would recommend or return to in the future.

New location for this area. They are usually highly staffed, but also training new employees. If…read moreyou never donated before prepare for a few hours. Their set up looks like the Crestwood location. Staff is always friendly. I didn't rate as high because they never took the defer off me from my first visit they were suppose to. I also suggest making sure you're hydrated and eat a good meal prior. Make sure you get plenty of rest the night before. Tuesdays and Fridays are busy. I didn't take photo inside as patients are inside. It's very spacious and there is WiFi. They have sign up bonuses as they barely opened up earlier in December.

I've been donating with impact life for 5 years now and usually I have a great experience but this…read moretime wasn't great compared to others. I came in for my appointment and was taken back immediately but the phlebotomist wasn't very friendly. I wasn't informed about when she was going to stick me and wasn't given the sheet where I was told my vital signs and the number to contact should anything go wrong. When I donate I sometimes get light headed and I did this time. She was prompt at helping me feel better but once I was done I wasn't told about what I need to do afterwards, and like I said before the number to call if anything were to go wrong. I have donated a lot now so I know those things but every time I have donated in the past the phlebotomist has told me what to do after the fact. Everyone has bad days and my overall experience with impact life is good so this was nothing that would detour me from coming back here, but I think in the future I will go to the mobile drives over the donor center. if I do go back to the donor center I'll make sure to update my review!
